A holin/peptidoglycan hydrolase-dependent protein secretion system
Gram-negative bacteria have evolved numerous pathways to secrete proteins across their complex cell envelopes. Here, we describe a protein secretion system that uses a holin membrane protein in tandem with a cell wall-editing enzyme to mediate the secretion of substrate proteins from the periplasm to the cell exterior. The identity of the cell wall-editing enzymes involved was found to vary across
